Notes
'BHN 589' 589 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'BHN 589') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is the best determinate tomato for hoophouse growing, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Alpha calendula, and Santo cilantro.
